Another was the Red Viper imo. I didn't care too much about him in the books aside from how he was important to Tyrion's fate, but I fucking loved him in the show, and that scene scarred me way more than the book because of it.

Ours was a weekend thing. It’s not just about how to be good spouses. (Although that was definitely part of it and could be summed up as always giving each other the benefit of the doubt) A much bigger part of the weekend was spent on making sure couples were on the same page with each other about their expectations of what their life would look like, how they would solve differences, relationships with extended family, division of labour etc. Then there were speakers who came to talk about financial planning, wills and power of attorney... all those hard conversations that are important to have. It was super helpful for us. We were on the same page for most things, but it was good to get a better understanding of differences in how we were raised and talk about the stuff we had different expectations for.

Sure, "best friend" isn't "boyfriend", but you've got "babe", you've got "going on a date for Valentine's day", you've got "love", and look where he's got his hand. None of that awkward shit you normally see in "friend-zone posts", where she goes out of her way to make clear that they're not together or that she doesn't think about him "that way".

You can fuck your best friends. You aren't definitely fucking your best friends, but you can.

5 months is obviously silly, but I've used this seemingly ridiculous phrasing before to give an excuse why I didn't respond at the time. As a somewhat shitty but well-meaning person, I sometimes see a text and either can't respond or don't have time to get into it or give it the attention it needs, and then by the time I'm done I've forgotten. For example, the other week I got a text from my sister asking me something about our parents, and I was in the middle of a workout so I didn't respond. I didn't remember about the text until after work the next day, so I started off with "sorry I was lifting." Obviously I didn't mean I'd been lifting for the past 20 hours, I just meant to say that's what stopped me replying in the first place and then time got away from me. Obviously this doesn't really apply if you're outside some normal window of time that says "I actually care enough to respond", which 5 months is definitely well beyond. But I feel like it has its place.

I do this same thing, and that is why I no longer open texts (and thus mark them as read) if I am not able to respond at that moment, so they remain unread and are a regular reminder whenever I'm on my phone.

Interesting point, but I prefer overcoming actual difficulties that spells doom for the entire run. Take Prince of Persia sands of time; In that game, every time you fail, you automatically reverse the time and can try again. Makes me feel like I am guided along by a parent in a kindergarten. Just not for me.

Not the person you posed the question to, but personally I developed a taste for Miracle Whip used in the making of grilled cheese sandwiches when I was a kid. It's the only example I can think of where I don't prefer mayo.

I don't remotely understand how that's at all relevant to anything that's been discussed above, though I particularly liked the part where you decided to be really condescending because I had the audacity to disagree with you.

Yeah, and the fact that you often see some of the same people doing that consistently I feel is pretty indicative that it's something not everyone can or will do, which just underscores their point.

Edit: Upon further reflection, I feel now like I may have misunderstood what you were getting at since I thought you replied to someone different than you perhaps did. Mobile Reddit isn't very good at consistently showing comment chains.

I’d like to suggest something you probably haven’t thought to do before: Spend a few months learning to use makeup and then start using it. And I don’t mean you should use noticeable makeup like eyeliner or lipstick or whatever. I mean that foundation and concealer can make skin look smooth and healthy, contour and highlight can make bone structure and nose shape look better, and that would improve your looks significantly without anyone noticing. Also natural tones of eyeshadow can make eyes look a lot better.
Just look at makeup transformations. If a woman can go from looking kinda unattractive to very hot with just makeup, why couldn’t you use makeup to make yourself look normal?

I see what you're saying, and while I don't think it's strictly speaking bad advice, someone following it would have to be very careful with how they followed it.

It's often pretty obvious when a woman has makeup on, and while it's socially acceptable for a woman to wear makeup, it is not socially acceptable for a man to do so and could end up making things worse for said individual.

So someone could definitely use makeup in the manner you mentioned, but it would probably be very tricky, and would require a skill that guys in general are pretty unlikely to have learned.

As a melee character that's swinging frequently, it was only a minor annoyance. As a wizard who was kitted out at level 44, getting regular resists from blue con undead frogloks five levels lower than me was extremely annoying.

That's been my opinion on it as well. The fact that melee are constantly swinging and that said swings don't cost them anything means misses aren't a big deal, with a possible exception to large attacks like backstab.

Casters though, I find resists far more annoying and painful, as spells cost a resource and are generally far fewer in number than melee swings. For that reason I think spell resists should be comparatively more uncommon than misses are to a melee character, all things being equal.

Perhaps in EQ they were far more uncommon, but as you mention they certainly didn't feel like it at times when you have 4 resists in a row on a dark blue.

Reddit supports some simple formatting which is communicated via special characters. Like the bullet in front of this line, which I did with an asterisk.

Sometimes though, in coding situations, syntax parsers, and other situations where you're dealing with both text, and a limited set of characters (e.g. you can't just draw on the page with arrows and stuff to clarify) you want to tell the thing processing the text that you mean literally that character. Not the thing that it interprets it to mean, like how asterisks mean emphasis, bold and so on, but you just want an actual asterisk to show up. So, you need...

Escape characters. Escape characters are very special characters that basically just mean - hey, whatever I type next, I mean that literally so just print out exactly what I typed, don't interpret it as formatting. So even though *this* would normally look like this, by typing \*this\* I can get it to ignore the asterisks from a formatting standpoint, and just print them out.

Backwards slash - \ - is an escape character. But because it normally means "ignore the special formatting implications of the character after this", the computer doesn't print it. So to print it literally, you need to first tell the computer to ignore the special thing it means... With, yes, another escape key.

My girl, Juager would go nuts flying around and screaming when I would leave. This time of year is really tough...this video pulled on my heartstrings. The 14th marked 5 years ago when I lost her to a fire....havent brought it up to anyone because it still hurts too much.

I'm sorry to hear that, I know how tough it is. It's been about 4 or 5 years since my little guy passed away, and it took a long time before I was able to think about him and not immediately get crushed.

One thing I found that really helped over time was talking about him in a positive way to family members who had history with him. Like reminiscing about funny stories of things he had done, stuff like that.

Now when I think of him, it's mostly in a positive light, and while I miss him it doesn't hurt so bad.

Once again my condolences and I hope you can eventually find some kind of peace with it.

I wish I could handle horror games. The idea is nice, and some of them look really good, but being involved in the way it plays out just wrecks me. I can watch horror movies without a problem because there's a much clearer boundary between audience and action, but those video games turn me into a jumpy mess of nerves.

I agree, being so involved in what's happening in a game makes it so much worse. Granted I can't exactly handle horror movies all that well either because jump scares wreck me in general, but I see what you're getting at.

You really think people are going to start protesting over having to pay a bit more for YouTube? Do you know anybody who is going to say "there's a good chance I'm going to lose my job, but at least I will have cat videos!"

Entertainment now is incredibly cheap. If it rises a little bit towards historical norms, we aren't going to have a revolution.

The world would be a better place if we were all r/patientgamers. A game's value declines so fast in such a competitive market where people have such short attention spans, but the companies are too greedy to notice. I really wanted to play arkham knight dlc but the seasons pass was too expensive. 2.5 years later it's still 20 bucks and I would maybe pay half that but probably not because I just don't care anymore.

I'm not really following what you are getting at. I assume you are referring to how the value of multiplayer games declines fast due to how quickly people move onto the next best thing, but I don't see how that's relevant to a single player game like Arkham Knight.

Frankly if the DLC is not at an acceptable price point (and while I had fun in at least some of the DLC, I can't recall what all of it is so I can't say whether I think it's worth $20 or not) then that's a fair assessment to be made, but I don't think that Arkham Knight no longer being the subject of gaming conversation is terribly relevant to its value.
